Sam performed at our wedding anniversary party back in June. As well as being an accomplished pianist with a great diverse repertoire of music, he’s a lovely and friendly chap :). Guests thoroughly enjoyed the music also and Sam made it a memorable occasion for us with some great musical entertainment. Highly recommended!

We were delighted to have Sam perform at my brother’s birthday party back in March. He really livened up the party with his delightful piano playing and it was a truly great evening overall with a great buzz. A lot of positive feedback from the guests. Great choice of songs and versatility of different styles. Many thanks again sam :)
